Now we have 12th of Never, probably named because that's the next time I'll read this book.
That was a great book! Ah, those were the days. The Women's Murder Club meant something and they all worked together to solve a mystery. Sigh.does anyone remember 1st To Die written only by James Patterson? It had one continuous plot, fantastic story and character development, and chapters that were more than 2 pages. I need James Patterson, the solo author, back for me to revel in his amazing craftsmanship! Thank you for another good book, though. "12th of Never" was still an enjoyable read. I continue to love the powerful core characters and the entire concept of "The Women's Murder Club". Although I am being very critical of the writing, this was still a good read.just not one of his best. It's just my personal opinion that Patterson is powerful in, and of, himself and should stick to authoring alone. He is truly an unbelievable and charismatic novelist and storyteller. He certainly has nothing to prove to anyone, least of all, myself. He is so amazingly successful, talented and creative, I would love to see him go back to solo writing. Based on this novel, like many recently co-authored books, I have started questioning Patterson and think he should go back to writing on his own. It didn't have the great development and intrigue that made me fall in love with Patterson's writing style and storytelling initially.
Unfortunately, for me, it NEVER did! It seemed to have too many different ideas shifting back and forth not one truly sparking and holding my interest throughout. I wanted to finish it in a sitting and see if it would take off at some point. I was so disappointed that I couldn't like this book as well as many of Patterson's others. It was very scattered, distracted and NEVER felt like it gained traction. "12th of Never", however, was lacking a bit in comparison to previous books. I have read everything he's ever published, and "The Women's Murder Club" has been a fun, compelling, can't-put-it-down type of a series for me. I will say this from the start.one of my favorite AUTHORS.not so much when he's CO-AUTHORING. James Patterson will always be one of my favorite authors.
